Klaus Schwaba biography

It is also noted that he headed the industrial company Escher Wyss AG. The company supplied weapons of Nazi Germany during the Second World War. Photos of Klaus Swab and men in Nazi form are attached to the post. The statement that the father of Claus Schwaba, Oygen Schwab, was a member of the Nazi party and was close to Hitler, is misinformation. A man in a Nazi uniform in the photo is not Oygen Schwab, but the German General Walter Dibilas.

The person depicted in the photo is not Oyngen Schwab, but the German General Walter Dibilas man in Nazi uniform, depicted in a photograph widespread on social networks - German General Walter Dibilas. Photos of Dibilas are posted on several thematic forums dedicated to the Second World War. According to AFP, in the documents of the Federal Archive of Germany there is another photo of Dibilas, and a clear similarity is visible in the photographs.

He was sentenced to 25 years of hard labor for war crimes.

Dibilas died in the year in the prison of the city of Stalin, the current Donetsk. As for the father of Klaus Schwab, Oygen Schwab, he was the commercial director of the Escher Wyser Swiss company in Ravensburg, in the south of Germany, but he was not a member of the Nazi party and had nothing to do with Adolf Hitler. Photo of Oygen Schwaba is available on the site of the Family Search family archives, where his photo appears on a Brazilian temporary visa.

Denacification was a program of allies after World War II, aimed at eliminating Nazism in Germany and Austria. Within the framework of the program, many people were questioned in order to identify their connection with Nazi organizations. From the Oygen Schwab file, it is clear that in the year it was interrogated twice. It also turns out from the file that he was not a member of the Nazi party, and had no connection with Adolf Hitler.

It should also be noted that during the Second World War, Escher Wyss, like other Germany factories, used the forced labor of prisoners during the war, but in the comments for AFP Nils Vise, a researcher at the Institute of Modern History in Munich noted that the use of Escher Wyss was guaranteed and this process could not be directly related to the director factory. The misinformation that the ancestors of various politicians and influential people were members of the Nazi party repeatedly spread in the past.
